Sneak Preview: Lions and Tigers and Terrorists, Oh My!

Today, Dr. Carole gives her listeners a sneak preview of her upcoming book: LIONS and TIGERS and TERRORISTS, OH MY! How to Protect Your Child in a Time of Terror, before it is launched in NYC in time for 9/11. Why haven't parents and teachers been talking to their kids about terrorism? Why do they need to? How is terrorism like sex? (Hint: both are taboo topics that make parents uncomfortable.) What makes terrorism the 'birds and the bees' talk for the 21st century? What do we know about the psychological impact of 9/11 and the recent UK terror attacks on kids? Why do grownups need to look for the signs of emotional distress in their kids? How can grownups help kids become more resilient to the impact of terrorism? Dr. Carole answers these questions and more.
